Abstract
Infection with Entamoeba histolytica can lead to amebic colitis and to complications including liver abscess. This review summarizes recent research on the pathogenesis and treatment of infection and the prospects for the development of a vaccine. A mucosal IgA response can produce partial, protective immunity to infection with E. histolytica.Keywords
